he is accused of performing "abortions" after the birth of live babies.
where does planned parenthood stand on this case?.
.
Glander: They are silent. Planned Parenthood has no problem with murdering infants. This is infanticide and Planned Parenthood has said before that whether or not a child, who is born alive after a botched abortion, should be saved is up to the parent and the doctor. Disgusting.
Don't take my word for it, here's Planned Parenthood testifying before congress:
he was my dad's favorite.
i can remember many many evenings my uncles coming over (all jw's) and listening to the old vinyl records (which i still enjoy).
its kind of a strange time in my life.
Are there no George Jones fans here?

I am 40 and my dad passed away 6 years ago. The people I remember growing up with and around either as personal friends, relatives or entertainers that I have never met are starting to die off. It makes me think of my own mortality.
Anyway, here's to George:

right at the finish line - seems too coincidental to be anything other than a purposeful act.
I really thought at first this was an Islamic terrorist bombing, but I have a feeling this is some sort of an occupy Boston or Mcveigh-esque bombing. The reason I think this is that no one has come forward to claim responsibility. If it were islamic terrorists, they would waste no time in taking credit.
anybody know what the jw divorce rate is these days?.
how many dub couples do you know that got divorced?.
.
I remember a CO giving a talk several years ago, and he said the JW divorce rate was about 50% just like the "world"
so by now, we all know about the "new light" concerning the "faithful and discreet slave" class being the governing body and just the governing body.
other "anointed ones" need not apply.
you've been summarily kicked to the curb.
Even if you accept the new FDS identity as the GB, there was no GB until 1975!!! That's what I see as the largest glaring hole in this new doctrine.
under the old light, from 33 ce onward, there was always an anointed remnant on earth, and these constituted the faithful and discreet slave class whom jesus had appointed over his domestics to give them spiritual meat in due season.. but the new light is that the "anointed" were not the faithful and discreet slave after all.. in fact, according to the new light, jesus did not appoint anyone as faithful and discreet slave over his domestics until 1919 (not even the apostles or russell).. so according to the new light, who or what was jehovah's visible organization from the death of the apostles until 1919?.
who was authorized to provide spiritual food in due season?.
where is the continuity?.
The really odd thing is there wasn't a Governing Body until 1975!!!! But the choosing appointment of the FDS happened in 1919? Try pointing that out to your favorite JW.
reading idly through this magazine , i read the study article "rejoicing in our hope" which discusses the two "hopes" according to the wtbts ie heaven & earth.. a couple of points were of interest:.
(1) absolutely no mention at all of the 144,000 or rev 14. usually an article like this would be filled with references , but it isn't even mentioned.
it does discuss the "limited number" , but only in contrast with the "no man can number" great crowd.. (2) a much more laid back attitude towards the two hopes.
You may just be observing different factions within the Watchtower. The Service Dept. tends to be run by Nazis and the Writing Dept. by slightly more liberal, out-of-context-quoting, hacks.
This was made especially manifest during the Recovered Memory Controversy.
I am not familiar with this controversy. Could someone provide a link?
Thanks
another story of the love in the christian congregation of jehovah witnesses!.
elder squidbilly was gunning for a brother who screwed up with his real estate portfolio in a bad way.
squid-billy made the case this brother had managed his holding in a unchristian and greedy way, so he appealed to the body to remove him for theft!
I think losing your position over bankruptcy is a matter of the situation. I know a COBE who's "worldly"™ employee double-crossed him and caused him to lose his business while the "worldly"™ employee secured contracts for a competitor. He was ruined financially. He filed BK and maintained his position.
I've known others who were removed because they filed BK simply because they didn't manage their finances and got too far in debt. It was determined that it was their fault and that they were simply using BK to not pay their debts.
I had one elder tell me that a Witness could only file chapter 7 (I think that's the one) because it required them to pay their debts.
from the secret elders' book which states that the list "of course" is "not comprehensive".
nevertheless here are the acts that they deem worthy of specifying as being possible grounds for chucking people out:.
murdermanslaughter such as killing someone while breaking traffic lawsattempting suicidesexual intercourse with someone other than your spouseanal sex with someone other than your spouseoral sex with someone other than your spousesexual stimulation of the genitals of someone other than your spousedelay in reporting a rape?
Voting is a disfellowshipping offense? It used to be a conscience matter. Just in a fairly recent QFR it stated that what happens in a voting booth is between that person and Jehovah.
